Importance Of My Dreams For High School

August 15, 2013 was the date that I entered high school. I had high hopes for the upcoming high school years to be my best years ever since I was in sixth grade. I expected that I can make more friends, join more club activities, and can choose classes that I really like. Although I was very enthusiastic and eager to start the all new school years, I also had a lot of worries and confusion about it also. The night before I start my freshmen year, the thoughts of failing classes, and be able to graduate high school kept

Contemplating back on my high school journey, I began to recognize and appreciate the life changes I experienced and the imperative lessons I learned throughout those four years. If I had to choose several words to describe my high school experience, I would begin with eventful, challenging, and memorable. High school afforded me many experiences that continuously led to stressful and challenging encounters. Being involved with the Ambassador Program and the National Honor Society was one of the greatest decisions I made in high school. Both clubs provided me with numerous life-changing opportunities that will continue to have an impact on me for a lifespan.

Almost a year ago I started my first day of high school, to some people that may seem like one of the least important days of their life, but for me it made me realize that it was going to be the last year I walk through those doors to attend class, and the last time I step out onto the soccer field with some of my closest friends. As I walked through the double doors that would officially start my last year at USA High School, I looked up and my entire graduating classes names were posted up on the wall, where soon our pennants of the colleges we were going to attend would hang. High school holds some of the happiest memories for some people, from times they were at Friday night football games with their best friends, or late-night adventures they went on, but for me it was being on the soccer team. Throughout my entire high school career, I was happiest when out on the field, playing against local schools with the people I have gotten so close to over the years.

I just can’t believe there is only few more days of high school left. As the days are getting closer and closer, it's getting sad. I still remember the day I stepped into Maine East High School as a Freshman, at that time, all I wished for was to graduate from this school with good grades. High school was not the way I imagined, it is way different from what I thought and definitely different from Middle School. Freshman year was the “exploring/adventure” year, finding where each classes were, what activities/clubs were offered at this school and many more. Freshman year went quickly and then Sophomore year came up. Sophomore year was probably the least stressful year in high school but from Sophomore year my family and friends started asking me the scariest question “What are you doing after high school, which career?

High School was not something I was good at, let me be honest I was a bad student. I skipped classes and didn’t do my assignments. I got into a bad relationship that hurt me and I got into drugs that made me feel numb. At that time my family and I didn’t have a connection; they were just people I saw at home. My mom worked most of the time and my dad went out every night while my sister was being diagnosed with schizophrenia and was dating a boyfriend who was her caretaker; you could say my family was not a family. When I had to get sober and become an independent young adult I chose to go to the University of River Falls. When I started there I was so happy to be on my own and to be three hours away from the dysfunctional thing I called a family. The first week there went wonderful, I loved the fresh air and the trees and I got along with my roommate so well. I was also excited to go home and see my mom, my parents are separated, and tell her all the great things about my independence.

Waking up that morning May 21 2015 with a big smile on my face saying today I made it! Senior year was kind of a struggle for me trying to make top 10% of my class, work 2 jobs and attend extracurricular activities and groups such as ROTC French club ,Spanish etc. and manage a social life .It was a lot on my shoulders being that I goofed off my other years. Each day that year I would wake up and motivate myself to keep pushing and pushing to I reach my goal .There was nothing stopping me I mean nothing at all people would talk saying things like “oh he’s not going to pass you”. Friends would doubt me but that just pushed me to grind even harder .yeah I’m not gone lie there was many days I wanted to fall back into my old ways and skip

I could not stand it much longer with all the assignments, and the fact that I was going through the same problem as I did back in the earlier years of schooling with my grades and GPA dropping. As the senior year began, I just could not wait to get it all done. Nearing the end of my senior year, I began slipping up academically, which made it nearly impossible to make it to graduation. As graduation day was approaching, anxiety ripped me apart because I knew I messed up academically, but I finished out with a punch. Later, I was informed that I would be walking across that stage. Graduation day arrives, all the graduating seniors, and myself are gathered within an arena, so many families screaming at the top of their lungs out of excitement. As I am watching the line go in alphabetical order up to the stage to collect their diplomas, I could not help but reminisce upon the moments that made high school what they were. As they mention my name, I make my way up to the stage to pick up my diploma, then as I walk off that stage, I make a loud shout saying “ALL DONE.” As soon as the graduation concluded, I began making my way to my car, that very minute is the minute that I regret the most because that is when I said that I would never return back to school again. Three years later, I am now back in school watching all the friends that I made in middle school, and high school graduating from college. I am glad I did begin school, even if it was three years

I am still in disbelief that I have just recently graduated from high school (Xavier College Preparatory). High school was definitely full of memories and life learning experiences that I will hold onto forever. I was president

Losing friends, meeting new people, first job, first car, boyfriend, getting my license. Throughout the last four years of high school I’ve experienced a lot of new things and learned a lot on the way. I remember walking into school on the first day of freshman year; I was thinking that these are going to be a very long couple of years. I was wrong; these past four years have gone by so fast, so I guess my dad was right when he said they’d fly by.

though graduating High School was my greatest success, it also was stressful, putting forth the

Being a senior made me feel let's say grown in a way. I’m almost leaving and done with high school. I've been waiting for this day to come ever since ninth grade center. Now I can't believe it's getting closer and closer to walk across the stage and get my diploma. Leaving high school and finally graduating is a big accomplishment. I’m just glad that i can show my parents that i could make it. My senior year came with a lot of struggles drama and problems. At the beginning I set some goals for myself so that i wouldn't mess up my senior year. One of my goals was that i would never skip class for no one. AnOther goal i set was to always do my work so that i can keep up with my grades. I've been doing pretty good lately even if i did have some

On August 16th, my parents helped me move into my dorm. I moved into Samuella V. Totty Hall with my roommate Jazmine. We both discovered that we had the same name, just spelled differently. We transferred information and got to know each other better. Later on that day we went scavenging hunting to find the building our classes were in. I knew my mother and father were very proud of me, but I knew I had to further my education and keep going to reach the top! My first day of classes was very different from what I thought it would be. In high school I had 15 minutes to get to my classes. I took all seven classes Monday through Friday all in one building. All of my classes were at least an hour and thirty minutes long. In college, we have 10

The high school experience is something that will forever dominate the psyche of most American adults. It was an unforgettable time of fun, rebel-rousing, summer loves and parties. It was a time of warm summer days at the pool and chilly autumn nights, watching the football team and wondering were the party was going to be that night. School dances and hotel parties. Seems like all I can remember are the good times. High School is a very emotional time for many teens and everything matters. The insidious problems that I had to face are but a smudge on my memory, things like too much homework, zits, mean people, gossip, and algebra. The social atmosphere that permeated every aspect of high school could

People say high school is supposed to be one of the best times of your life; complete and utter garbage that was. I was so happy when I finally graduated last June. When they called my name there was no

When I look back on this day now, I still remember every detail as if it was yesterday. I was so proud, and happy to be able to celebrate such an amazing day with all of my friends and family. I know I will never forget how embarrassed I was walking across the stage in front of all of those people, feeling famous after taking so many pictures, making our final memories together at our graduation parties, and then being a nervous wreck when it was time to go out into the world without my best friends at my side. High school graduation day was a very emotional day for me, but it was by far the most exciting day I have ever experienced in my
